Beat hosepipe bans

Officially approved solutions

Water conservation is essential to help achieve a more sustainable society. With major concerns over UK water supply, enforced hosepipe bans, escalating water costs and severe weather, an increasing number of people are turning to sustainable irrigation solutions and using recycled grey water and rainwater harvesting systems to irrigate their gardens. This not only saves water and saves money; it clearly benefits the environment.

Drip Line Irrigation

Approved Irrigation throughout the year

Drip line irrigation has been officially approved for use since the hosepipe ban in 2012. Drip irrigation helps to optimise the use of water when irrigating vegetated areas (flower beds, hedges & trees) by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants via a 16mm Drip line with drippers positioned every 30mm. Our special drip line has built in self cleaning mechanisms. It is a self regulating, anti siphon device providing even distribution throughout the line. This allows us to know exactly how much to irrigate the trees and hedges at different times of the year.

The drip line is installed on the surface and evenly spaced for optimised watering. In borders and beds, this pipe can be covered using bark or mulch for aesthetic proposes. This Drip line can be used also for irrigating Living Walls and Green roofs.

Rainwater Harvesting

Collecting and using free water

These innovative harvesting systems will help conserve increasingly scarce water resources efficiently, responsibly and intelligently. Clearly the benefits can be realised for the environment and for us all. We use the very best of engineering principles together with professional, high quality tested products to ensure your investment in our system will give you a cost effective water efficiency system with reliability to last, and of course a beautifully sustained garden.

Our design team can individually design a simple and effective Rainwater Harvesting system to help irrigate your garden. We have a wide range of options from a small roof collection from your green house or shed to a 55,000 litre galvanised tank for larger needs. We can evaluate the average rain water in your area, work out the size of your roof area and recommend a tank and installation especially to suit you and your garden�s needs.

Grey Water Recycling

Going green and recycling

What is Grey Water?Grey water is non-industrial wastewater generated from domestic processes such as showers and baths. We will be able to give you best advice to find out how you can utilise this water for garden irrigation by designing a system tailor made to suit your budget and your garden�s needs.

Can I use Grey water to irrigate my garden?

You can utilise grey water from baths and showers to irrigate your thirsty trees, shrubs and plants, not vegetable gardens though. The most efficient method is via surface or sub surface drip irrigation directing the water to where your plants need it.

Is it safe?

If the grey water is used directly into the ground (sub surface drip) and within 24 hours, the water does not need special treatment other than minimal filtration to prevent blockages. It contains nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium which are beneficial to plants. It is better for you and the environment to use natural or organic body soaps and shampoos. Bleach or bleach based products should not be used. Instead, use environment friendly cleaning agents in bathrooms as these are biodegradable and have no damaging additives.
